Another tribute to the great Dutch graphical designer/pioneer "Jurriaan Schrofer".

This time I didn't do a straight foreward recap of a specific work from the great man, but rather had myself inspired by a number of his sketches and combined those ideas all into this type! (Nonetheless ofcourse still heavily inspired by..)

Here are a few of the original works I drawn inspiration from:

"A.S.C. COMMUNICATIONS, SEMINOTICS, SIGNAGE SYSTEM PTT 1975 (Dutch Post Office) , BEURS VAN BERLAGE, UNREADABLE ALPHABET"

Enjoy!

Here is my fourth attempt to make a narrow font that accentuates diagonals. It seems to be a good programming font at size 10. It makes it surprisingly easy to read upper case consonant names.

Design is as follows:

Monospaced of course, because code pretty much requires this.

Small sizes need to be easily readable.

Two Dimensional - designed for two dimensional grid-like work such as spread sheets and programming.

Wide in the center of each letter so that diagonals and crossbars are easy to see, and narrow toward the top and bottom so that the characters pull away from each other and are easy to tell apart.

Bodies of the lower case letters are made relatively tall so they are easy to read in code, yet maintaining a clear difference between the height of the lower case and upper case characters - very important.

From top to bottom: 2 blocks upper diacritics, 1/3 block space, 2 blocks stems and upper case, 5.3 blocks lower case body, 1/3 block space, 2 blocks lower diacritics.

Clearly distinct are the members of each of the following groups of glyphs: ({[  ])}   Il1  aes   Ss56$   Zz217?   `'   .,   uUvV   coCO0D   pP   ;:   ~-  . The ability to tell exacty what each character is, is critical in programming.

Numbers are really large. It doesn't hurt at all for number to stand out in programming. This is ok because numbers never have diacritics. The 7 is shorter so it does not look like a 2 when underlined.

Vertical alignment - The pairs {}  ()  and []  line up precisely vertically.

The dots are large and distinct so they show up easily in code.

Large numeric 'operators' +-/\%^~=* are easy to read in code.

At least one block touches the right edge in each glyph so that Visual Studio can figure out what's going on.

Also:

Diacritics have lots of space since the area above and below the capitals is more than 2 blocks, so they can be added later on.

Looks scripty - There is a bit of a scripty thing going on because of the wide bases for the lower case i and l, so this is enhanced a bit in the I, J, S, U, Z, f, t, u, z and s.

Narrow enough to be mistaken for an informal text font although since it is designed for two dimensional work it is not so easy to read with just lines of text.

A little too thin - A little bit too thin to be easy to read on a pixelated screen although it does print very nicely, so I am labeling this Friendly Geek Light, and I think I will build an medium and a Bold later.

Fancy Pantaloons is a typeface for when you are feeling a bit silly and pretentious without wanting to be too over-the-top. This typeface reminds me of old lettering on signs from the early 1900's. A combination of Victorian, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, and a bit of Techno. 

Abstract meets Pixalation. Thich meets thin.

Work in progress!

This typeface has come from the initial theme of malnourished, where I looked at using real bones to make a physical typeface. From this, I have developed my idea to look into the deeper meaning of eating disorders and specifically the mental illness surrounding it. My typeface therefore is a representation of body dysmorphia in anorexia, using limb like shapes to create letterforms, showing the reality and perception of people who see themselves as over weight when really they are dangerously underweight.  

A very squared-off monospaced font, based on 45° angles. Very thin lines, suitable for text or display. One of my earlier FontStruct™ creations. Let me know how you like it.

My first published FontStruct based on something I did 4 years ago. Constructive criticism is appreciated. Visibility is sort of low when zoomed out, I'm aware, but it's perfect for larger titles. Also, no idea why the preview isn't loading...

A neat language of combining letters to create even more unique characters. Based on some languages like Armenian. Work in progress. 

I've had a specific font in mind for a design project for a while now, but I haven't been able to find anything like it online so I decided to try and replicate it myself. Using this font in Blender with an 'offset' value of about 0.20 yields pretty much the exact same font I was imagining, which is good enough for me :)

(fortunately I won't ever need to use a V or Z in the aforementioned project!)

The font is based around the theme 'messy'. Each letter is inspired by messy paint/ink strokes; therefore no letter is exactly the same as another. However they all work well as a whole complementing eachother with small similarities. The font is designed to be used for headers, for example art posters or flyers. It could be used for big bodies of text, however slightly less suitable as it may become harder to read if it's made too small. The font could also be used in any colour and still grab attention!   

Lightyears is a thin, round, geometric, no-nonsense sci-fi font, from the creator of Digital Desolation, Motion Control, and Reqruit Mk 2, as well as Fami Script (Thanks for the Top Pick!).

Just a test... The new features greatly improve the fontstructing experience which already was great. Details about this font below...

I made this with the a retro, space, horror theme. I really wanted this to give off a space horror vibe, something that was meant to be used with space horror movies, games, or things like that. I hope you like this typeface, and comment with constructive criticism!

The narrow thin version of my font Block.

Ok, This took a while !

accents coming soon, numerals not so soon. ¿Basic Latin? Maaaaybe.

Let me know what you think, anything is helpful.
